BISHKEK (Reuters) -Kyrgyzstan voiced regret on Friday over the inclusion of several Kyrgyz entities in the European Union's latest Russia sanctions list, a move it called "one-sided sanctions pressure".
In a statement, the foreign ministry of the Central Asian state said Kyrgyzstan "strictly observes its international obligations" and pursues an "open and constructive dialogue" with EU partners to prevent sanctions-evasion risks. It invited Brussels to initiate an independent audit.
